- makomk 13y agoIt's very unusual that you need to use cross-over cables these days, almost everything is autodetecting.
- evol262 13y agoOnly GigE autodetects, and the NIC in his system is unknown.
- makomk 13y agoYou've got that slightly backwards. GigE always has auto-MDIX support, slower Ethernet ports might not support it but generally do in all semi-modern hardware.
- s_baby 13y agoReally? Didn't know that. Still might be worth a shot in my eyes since it's unclear to me if autodetect happens before or after an OS bootup.
- jevinskie 13y agoI seem to recall trying both WAN and LAN ports but I will check again this evening. Thanks for the suggestion!
